I am trying to: Send an XML ADF formatted email as the notification from a CRED submission (hidden link). Essentially I just want the email notification to send exactly what I have in the editor. When it actually sends it includes <p> tags, that I can't identify any reason. I've tried minifying the code so it's all on one line and still get them. Is there any way to stop all formatting of the email body before sending it?
Thank you for your help,
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?adf version="1.0"?>
<adf>

Hi Doug,
Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.
I'm afraid, there is no filter available to turn off automatic formatting of form's email notification.
But to have absolute control over the output of your email in XML ADF format, you can create a custom function that sends this email directly, connected to "cred_submit_complete" hook.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_submit_complete )
For example:
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'my_custom_action',10,2);
function my_custom_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==123)
{
// code to send the email directly
}
}
Note: Please replace 123, with the ID of your actual form.
Following article has useful information around creating a custom PHP function to send email in XML ADF format:

I hope this helps.

Thank you for such a thorough and helpful response. Although a little disappointing that WP insists on inserting those <p> tags wherever it can, your suggestions seem like a workable solution.
